Actually in the future Brazil and Argentina might make good markets for Indian military exports. Who knows!
The Argentinian army was clearly outmatched last time, as a practical matter, not to mention the loss of Belgrano. If Brits can afford to provide an adequate garrison, including AA defense, Argentina can bluster from now to Kingdom come IMHO.Buenos Aires - which has long claimed sovereignty over the territory it calls the Malvinas - reacted angrily last year when Britain allowed offshore drilling for oil in the islands' waters.
The Argentinians were also irritated by the recent announcement of Prince William's forthcoming RAF posting to the islands.
I think we wont see han numerical superioty in Falkland any time soon. Just my 50 cents.:cool2:In a few years china will also say the same thing when the han have numerical superiority.
Will that bother us? I don't think so. A weak UK will need more friends than enemies to survive through the next decade and century. They just have to accept that their golden age is over.And the Brits will sell the Pakis some EF and other stuff. There is no way Argentina is getting Falklands.
It is too soon to right the obituary for UK. It is still one of the most powerful and richest countries in the world. Its a member of NATO and a Nuclear power with a global reach.Will that bother us?

Besides, Pakistan will not be having enough money to purchase those hi-tech stuff in sufficient quantity to make us jealous.
Is Spain in Europe?Not if the people are of european stock.
islands belong to south america.
That's where the plot for the TV series Lost came from.At one point Island hosted two colonies and neither knew other was there..
The difference is that we are much much closer to A&N than UK is to FIs. We have a rising economy, massive military and regional advantage. UK would be the most isolated enemy right now if they were to invade FIs, getting ready to fight Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela. And the three of them would simply cut open the Royal Navy.Doesn't matter if this is not the colonial era. If UK is made to give up Falklands it will hurt their pride too much and make them look like an ass.
We, despite our spineless leadership cannot think of losing any part of A&N. Will the Brits give up?
UK has no hope to win this time if you people don't meddle. THey will be fighting against 3 major powers of South America this time, without an aircraft carrier, defense budget cuts and already fixated military in Afghanistan. While Argentines are weak themselves, with the more socialist new Brazilian government (very pro-Pan-South American) and a rather unrelenting Venezuela (building a powerful military force for the region), will make Royal Navy's life a living hell in the Falkland region. Simply because UK is not an expeditionary force anymore and is at its weakest.The Argentinian army was clearly outmatched last time, as a practical matter, not to mention the loss of Belgrano.

Between Britain and Falklands is located St.Helena Island. This is owned by UK and can be used for transit.The difference is that we are much much closer to A&N than UK is to FIs.

They would rather go the Ascension islands way and even then there is Tridade Island in between, if Brazil decides to back Argentina up UK would find it hard to reinforce.Between Britain and Falklands is located St.Helena Island. This is owned by UK and can be used for transit.
Argentine military , navy or AF is in no shape to fight Britain right now. In the Future if the other ponchos want to join them, atleast 1 Elizabeth class Carrier would be waiting to welcome them.
UK can just threaten to use Tactical nukes. Whether this causes a nuclear arms race would be secondary to UK's territorial integrity.They would rather go the Ascension islands way and even then there is Tridade Island in between, if Brazil decides to back Argentina up UK would find it hard to reinforce.
